The building and construction sector must combine material reliability with sourcing strategies to successfully transition to reuse. Component traceability through material passports, performance assurance, warranties and insurance coverage, and the structuring of selective dismantling chains capable of supplying a steady market with refurbished components are key success factors. Scaling up will require standardized testing protocols, better synchronization between available resource streams and the needs of designers and project owners, as well as the integration of reuse into design and cost-estimation tools. Resource and raw material constraints, along with rising material costs, make it essential to optimize business models based on reliable, scalable, and competitive solutions.
Give yourself the opportunity to connect your needs with those of other sectors to accelerate the standardization of diagnostic, testing, traceability, and refurbishment protocols. The construction sector, with its wealth of experience in logistics, can also provide other industries with robust and transferable methodologies, helping to build a shared operational foundation for the reuse economy.
